Let me start this review by saying this school is probably one of the worst educational centres for adults I have ever had the bad luck to attend.On the first day, they sat us all down in class and gave a 90 mins or so speech on rules and regulations. They gave us a brochure with illustrations and explanations in different languages about how to behave properly in a civilised society (funny how the Japanese government deemed necessary to hand out these pamphlets to us uncivilised foreigners). Among other things, there was a picture of a man shoplifting with a text reading “You may think it is not a big deal,” followed by the same guy being arrested by the police “but if you shoplift or commit petty theft, they are all considered larceny and it is a serious crime.” Thank you school for teaching me that stealing is bad.After this eye-opening lesson about civilised behaviour, the school went on to tell us that being 10 mins late to class counts as a missed class, and that 3 missed classes in a row would get us expelled from school and the country. More than 80% attendance to class is also mandatory in order for the school not to report you to immigration and get you deported. We are talking about a school that charges around 3,200€ for a 6 month course and doesn’t let their students be even 10 mins late to class. It’s even mandatory to notify the school well in advance if you are going to miss a lesson, so skipping class on Friday to enjoy a long-weekend trip would already get you in trouble. What’s even worse, none of these patronising school rules had ever been mentioned in any of the emails, information brochures or phone exchanges prior to the payment of the school fees.The first time I skipped class, I went to the other side of Honshu to visit some friends in Kyoto and Osaka, and I got an email from the Head Teacher asking where I was. My first thought was “it’s none of your business,” but then I remembered kindness is a virtue. I gave a soft reply kindly explaining where I was and what I was doing, and I immediately got an email back saying not to do it again. This kind of warnings went on for a couple of months. I’m 26 years old, by the way. This is a school specifically designed for adult students older than 18 who want to study Japanese, and yet, they insist in treating you like a minor incapable of making your own decisions.Bowing to the teacher before and after every lesson is mandatory, and refusing to do so could get you expelled for unacceptable behaviour. Watching all those 20± year-old students stand up as the teacher walks in is the closest thing to being in the military I have ever experience. A language school is a place were students should be encouraged to discuss and question ideas, speak up and use their language skills, but this sort of behaviour imposed by the school results in quiet classrooms where nobody says anything and the teacher goes on for hours explaining grammatical concepts in Japanese. I often felt I was learning more by skipping class and meeting my friends in different parts of the country, instead of sitting for hours in front of a teacher doing pointless exercises.I am well aware this review is about a school in Japan and that Japan has its own way of doing things, but I feel I have the responsibility to evaluate it regardless of its location. It is important to bear in mind that a language school should be assessed by its educational quality and not because “Japan does things their own way.”This said, and based on my own experience, I discourage any future student from ever enrolling in this school.
Very good and I want to learn in school

それはいい小さな学校です。
先生方はフレンドリーで親切で、生徒たちを本当に気にかけているようです。
質問は奨励されます、そして、教師は彼らに答えるために最善を尽くします。
コース教材はすぐに使えるようになり、前のレッスンに基づいて構築されます。
上田は町の中だけでなく地元の地域でやるべきことがたくさんある静かで小さな街です。
それは勉強するのに良い場所です。
ここで一学期しか過ごしませんでしたが、私はたくさん学び、素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。
(原文)It's a nice little school. The teachers are friendly and helpful, and seem to genuinely care about the students. Questions are encouraged, and teachers do their best to answer them. Course material is immediately usable, and builds upon previous lessons. Ueda is a quiet, small city with plenty of things to do in town as well as in the local area. It is a good place to study.I only spent one term here, but I learned a lot and had a great time.
